On Thursday, the American Snuff company presented the Montgomery County Habitat for Humanity with a check of $30,000.

The funds will be used to build a home for a "deserving family," according to Montgomery County Habitat for Humanity outreach coordinator Margaret Alexander.

The American Snuff Company Charitable Trust offers financial support across a broad range of organizations that have demonstrated an ability to assist people in its area which include Clarksville-Montgomery County area, Memphis, and Winston-Salem, NC.

"We have been a part of Montgomery County for over a century, and we are delighted to be able to give back to the community in this meaningful way," senior manufacturing director Jeff Doss said.

According to Alexander, the funds will be used as early as Spring 2017 to build a home for a family chosen by the number of sweat equity hours spent working within Habitat's ventures.

"Habitat is able to build houses because of the generosity of the people of Clarksville-Montgomery County," she said.

The Habitat for Humanity Montgomery County chapter will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year. The group has built 93 homes in the Clarksville-Montgomery area so far.

"Seeking to put God’s love into action," is the group's mission.
